emoncms VS Composer

I think I have seen others do this with some smaller dedicated timer thermocouple controllers.. but I wanted to be able to write software to do more.. like email me start/stop emails.. and the openenergy monitor emonpi gives access to emoncms.org which lets me see the kiln temps 24 hours a day from anywhere in the world.. and they have an iphone app that you can use to see the data.. so all I had to do was figure out how to publish the data to their service.. and then write a if then loop python script to check for the kiln temp at a time.. if low..turn kiln on.. if high.. turn it off.... I have dreams of a cleaner simpler script.. but no time to get it done.

Take a look at CircuitSetup.us for their EmonESP whole-house energy monitor. I got their single phase with two current transformers several months ago and it has worked perfectly. It has a web page, sends out MQTT messages and can simultaneously send out emoncms data (see emoncms.org ).

Delving into PHP frameworks like Laravel or Symfony is like building a skyscraper, with Composer acting as your "construction foreman," guiding you step by step to ensure your code is robust and awe-inspiring. This stage involves getting familiar with popular PHP frameworks such as Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, etc., and utilizing the functionalities provided by these frameworks to rapidly develop efficient, maintainable web applications. Tools to consider: Laravel, Composer.

In our example application we will manage dependencies via Composer.

Our project template is equipped with Composer and an autoload class pre-installed. This inclusion in the repository streamlines the setup process, particularly for this access-token course. Composer, a dependency manager for PHP, simplifies the integration of external libraries and ensures efficient autoloading of classes. It plays a pivotal role in managing project dependencies, enabling developers to focus more on implementation rather than manual library management. If you're unfamiliar with Composer or need guidance on its installation, refer to the following link for detailed instructions: [https://getcomposer.org/] and this article for more details on the setup of the packages in this project.

On you Jenkins server, install PHP, its dependencies and Composer tool (Feel free to do this manually at first, then update your Ansible accordingly later)

Composer is a PHP package manager and it will allow us to use many out-of-the-box packages and features such as HTTP requests, logging, and templates and database management. I use it to develop large, complex applications.
